Mabry Mill and the Blueridge Parkway VA

This past weekend we decided to take a little road trip!! We have not been anywhere all summer so we decided to go to the VA part of the Blue Ridge Parkway and to the Mabry Mill area. It was so beautiful with the fall colors,I very much enjoyed the picture taking!! Here are a few pictures from the road trip.
